> Key: MATH-1120
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MATH-1120
> Project: Commons Math
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: 3.2
> Reporter: Venkatesha Murthy TS
> Labels: Percentile
> Fix For: 4.0

> Attachments: excel-percentile-patch,
> percentile-with-estimation-patch, r-output.txt

> Original Estimate: 504h
> Remaining Estimate: 504h
>
> The current Percentile implementation assumes and hard-codes the quantile pth
> position as
> p * (N+1)/100 and provides a kth selected value.
> However if we need to verify compare/contrast with standard statistical tools
> such as say MS Excel; it would be good to provide an extensible way of
> morphing this selection of position than hard code.
> For example in order to generate the percentile closely matching with MS
> Excel the position required may be [p*(N-1)/100]+1.
> Please let me know if i could submit this as a patch.
